Subject: matrix is where its at
killer/smoker of a second set with beautiful versions of cosmic charlie and high time. A++ sound.

Subject: Amazing matrix!
This matrix is absolutely perfect! No delay or fade between the two tapes, and full rich sound! This is one of the best matrix recordings on the archive for sure, and what a great show too! I love '76 because it's a year I don't get to often, but when I do it's always a mind-bender! I love the Playin' here, maybe even more than versions I have heard from '77! They aren't just doodling away on chords, they are creating! This matrix captures the pure sounds of each individual instrument as you would hear it in the audience! The Dead are in a tight groove this night, permeated by that lazy '76 flow. Every note is thought out and constructed. The Cosmic Charlie is simply fascinating! The drummers are tuned into each other and the vocal harmonies are perfect. Too bad we don't have the complete show!

I almost forgot to mention how truly beautiful Donna sounds on this evening. Even her Playin' scream is more tempered.

And that is "Stronger Than Dirt" you are hearing after Playin', it is a version they played a lot in '75, not the typical version you expect to hear from the studio album.

Subject: Saw DSO perform this
At the Boulder Theatre. It was a great show to see as it was an unpredictable set list with a lot of nuggets.

I believe this is the only Stronger Than Dirt outside of the few 75' hiatus performances.

Just a very jazzy and different approach to what they were doing historically at this point.

Look to the last night of this run for a solid second set as well, slightly more historically predictable, but still a good listen through.

Notes

This is all that circulates in the SBD source.

The AUD source was lightly EQ'ed. A slight high end cut.

AUD Patch Samson approx 4:35 to fill missing part of the SBD
29:58.490 to 31:31.560 total of 01:33.070. This is somewhat
detectable but hardly. Which is really a statement to just
how great the AUD source is.

SBD Patch Drums approx 02:37 to fill missing part of the AUD
44:07.731 to 44:15.904 total of 0:08.172. This is smooth and
most likely undetectable.

Missing 22.027 crowd on AUD source between Around & Around
and High Time. SBD trimmed accordingly to match with a 3
second crossfade. Smooth and most likely undetectable.
